Good news: All northbound lanes are now reopen on I-95 in Norwalk, but there’s still big delays in the Norwalk area.

First, we had a northbound tractor-trailer crash, involving multiple vehicles, that has shut down the center and left lanes, between Exits 16 in Norwalk and 17 in Westport. The lanes reopened shortly after 9 a.m.

Then there was a disabled southbound tractor-trailer that shut down the center lane, between Exits 16 and 15 in Norwalk. Live cams showed the front of that truck smashed into a car. That southbound center lane has since reopened.

The accidents caused huge traffic delays in the area. More than 20 miles of southbound traffic is crawling in the single numbers and teens all the way back to Exit 19 in Fairfied. The slowest southbound speeds are in a four-mile stretch between Exits 17 in Westport to Exit 12 in Darien.

Northbound delays go back to Exit 13 in Norwalk.

Even without accidents, this stretch of I-95 is one of the most congested areas on the highway. Both accidents happened shortly after 8 a.m. during the height of the AM commute.
